“Whatever change you make now, you’re gonna have to revisit to make a big change later, so if there’s no urgent problem that needs to be solved, why would you not wait until then. Any change we make now is going to be short lived.” Yes, @lex_node 🤝 I don’t fault the EIP authors for thinking this far ahead but the EIP is completely tone deaf. We as an Ethereum community cannot afford to make such major changes to issuance to solve a problem that’s not here yet, and may never arrive, when the consequences for changing issuance are immense (loss of confidence for $ETH holders, stakers and DeFi builders, and confusion over incentives for stakers and $ETH investors). I am grateful for the intense unified reaction against this EIP. I appreciate anyone trying to champion an EIP for what they think will benefit Ethereum but I just disagree with this draft and the timing. Maybe a modified approach in the distant future but dear god, not now. Now back to Ethereum winning 😘
